    Rogers Orchards, Southington CT

    Rogers Orchards 336 Long Bottom Rd. Southington, CT 06489 Open 9-6 daily (at time of writing) (860) 229-4240 Cheryl needed some fresh peaches to make peach cobbler so we thought we’d try an orchard that we’d never visited before.

Like most orchards you can either pick your own or go into their country store. The store has (to name a few) apples, peaches, vegetables, local honey, cider, and one of their specialties is freshly made…

Sony Nex 7 mirrorless camera with Sony 55-210 @ 82mm (35mm equiv. = 123mm) 1/320th, f11, ISO 100, shutter priority TIP: when photographing with a long lens and you are hand holding set your shutter speed at least the same as the longest end…
